“One on One”

poetry is a way
for you to know me
each line
an open door
to see what’s inside
to read between the lines
to read behind the lines
all of it truth
all of it out there
as the words
enter your eyes
to your heart
there’s a moment created
for you to ask
for you to listen
for you to understand
for you to delve
and get to know me
if you want

“Opposite of Life”

from the outside
in
ready to destroy
working hard to bring
death
to life
knowing how to
tear down
watered
all around
forming quicksand
for no one
to come near
one
right
after
the
other
domino effect
of thoughts
never good
never helpful
always deceiving
until
water’s under your feet
quicksand
pulling you
under
buried alive
in negative thinking
